...recent years, the United States’ global competitiveness has declined, and upon the most recent analysis is sitting in the 7th position of competitiveness. As defined by the World Economic Forum, competitiveness is “the set of institutions, policies, and factors that determine the level of productivity of a country.” In Chapter 2 we have discussed the concepts of competitiveness and productivity within a company. I have taken a different approach and decided to look at our overall competitiveness globally to relate the two. In determining the competitiveness of a country, this specific report used an index of categories ranging from the health and educational attainment of the population, to inflation conditions, and also access to technology and research development. It is taken from the article that the reason for this decline in overall global competitiveness is “distrust and lack of confidence in government leadership.” Competitiveness, as defined in our class is “how effectively an organization meets the wants and needs of customers relative to others that offer the same goods.” The correlation I see between this definition of a micro comparison and the global comparison is the fact that all nations in the world, like all businesses in a marketplace, are attempting to satisfy their customers (other countries) in a more effective way than their competitors. The United States can once again thrive as a nation once...

...Thailand’s Competitive Advantage in ASEAN after Asian Crisis:
Among the five-selected ASEAN nations: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam
Abstract: Analyzing Thailand’s competitive advantage in ASEAN after Asian crisis in 1997 is
vital for a nation’s economic development in the region where the neighborhood could be both complementary and hostile. Utilizing Porter’s diamond model with the quantitative approach has concluded that Thailand is ranked as the third-most competitive nation in ASEAN. Malaysia is identified as Thailand’s most awful competitor that it has to defeat while Singapore could better be the complementary. Vietnam is a catching-up competitor with its rapid economic development during the past decade. Indonesia is coming up after Vietnam; however, it is well-highlighted on its highest potential domestic demand and largest labor force which should principally contribute to the growth of manufacturing, agriculture and services sectors. In order to beat Malaysia and improve its competitiveness, Thailand has to invest in advanced and specialized factors, especially, in the field of ICT and R&D which will bring up a nation’s firms with more ability to produce higher-value of goods and services and more sophisticated buyers which ultimately improve a nation’s competitive advantage.
Key words: Competitive advantage, diamond model, quantitative approach, factors,...

...1. Introduction and general country overview
Being the fifth largest country in the world by surface area and population, and recently emerging as one of the fastest growing global economies , Brazil can hardly be overlooked as a potential target of investment, especially in the light of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics. Nevertheless, an immediate word of caution is at place here. Even though Brazil is 25% of the highly hyped BRIC-countries, the engine seems to show some hiccups, as it is revealed that due to high interest rates and an overly appreciated national currency, the Brazilian economy in 2011 had its second-worst performance since 2003 (2.7% growth versus 7.5% in 2010) . As a result, Brazil is losing international competitiveness and is being outperformed by its fellow BRIC-nations . This is also noted in a recent report from Nasdaq, in which it is claimed that a central bank survey showed forecasts of a growing inflation and declining economic growth .
Notwithstanding these recent hiccups, the fact that Brazil is still in the investor spotlight is, however, not the result of a logical and benign transition. As did many Latin-American nations in the second half of the twentieth century, Brazil too found itself temporarily under the yoke of rightist regimes. In 1964, a successful coup d’etat aimed at the socialist rule of president Goulart hurled Brazil into 21 years of military dictatorship, culminating in the extreme...

...data analysis package with the global targets. CEO, Greg McNally and other key personnel have realised the competitive threats and need of maintaining company’s competitiveness. For this, there is a dilemma of whether to internationalise the business or to focus on domestic market by exploring potential industries like chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, etc. Currently, not to go global is the wise decision for company as it lacks capabilities for international business. It can use domestic market expansion strategy, product development strategy, capabilities development strategy to neutralise threats currently encountered. However, company needs to make a plan for global entry in future. In meantime, it must strengthen its base in domestic market and make global entry when it develops stronger capabilities.

...CSR AND COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Corporate social responsibility (hereinafter CSR) has become one of the central issues on the agenda of organizations today, but is still a long way from being a centre stage on corporate strategy (Smith, 2003; Stewart, 2006). One of the key problems is the lack of understanding about the impact CSR has on competitiveness (Porter and Kramer, 2006). There are many studies trying to analyze the relationship between CSR and ﬁnancial performance (Chand and Fraser, 2006; McWilliams and Siegel, 2001), proposing a business case for CSR (Cramer et al., 2006; Smith, 2003) or providing case studies on CSR practices (Gueterbok, 2004; Robertson and Nicholson, 1996). However, ﬁnancial performance or smart practices don’t automatically imply long term competitiveness (Porter and Kramer, 2006; Porter and Van der Linde, 1995; Smith, 2003). The bottom line is that there seems to be a connection between CSR and competitiveness, but the nature of the relationship is unclear (Mackey et al., 2007; Van De Ven and Jeurissen, 2005).
Today, corporate social responsibility (CSR), a ﬁrm’s commitment to maximize long-term economic, societal, and environmental well-being through business practices, policies, and resources, is a strategic imperative. Spurred by the thinking of leading strategy, management, and marketing scholars (e.g., Kotler and Lee 2005, Raghubir et al. 2010, Mahoney et al. 2009, Margolis and Walsh 2003, Porter and Kramer...

...Introduction:
The GEM research program is an annual assessment of the national level of entrepreneurial ac-tivity. Our group has chosen two reports: one is Global Entrepreneurship Monitor 2011 Report for Belgium which is posted on January 2013; the other one is Global Entrepreneurship monitor
National Entrepreneurial Assessment for the United States of America which is the report of USA during 2011.There is many differences in entrepreneurial capacity of these two countries. Our group will talk about the differences of these two countries with the reference to theory and the Global Competitiveness Index. Entrepreneurship is increasingly at the forefront in economic policy. There is a widely asserted positive influence of entrepreneurship on economic progress through its stimulating influence on innovation, competition and industry dynamics .So from the beginning, let’s see the background of these two countries. First it comes to Belgium.
Belgium is participating in GEM since 2001. In 2011 a representative sample of the general population of 18 years and older was ensured and a telephone survey (fixed line via national telephone directory and mobile via random digital dialing) was conducted covering 1852 individuals for Belgium (of which 1077 in Flanders), within the age range of 18-64.6 .Respondent selection within a household was based on the next birthday method. This implies that...
